1339 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 1339 Hancock Street in Bushwick, built in 1907 and currently owned by 1339 Hancock LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced multiple electrical problems in 2025, with documented power outages, lighting failures, and outlet/switch issues between February and April, resulting in multiple violations that require the owner to make corrections within specific timeframes.

The building also underwent significant heating system challenges in early 2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though inspectors reported these systems were restored during their investigations. The property has an ongoing history of pest control challenges, with open violations as of 2024 for a mouse infestation in Apartment 1L and consistent rat activity documented in six inspections between 2023 and 2025. Other maintenance concerns have been noted, including violations related to encumbrances in public hallways, missing doors, and defective materials in building common areas.

Records show some progress in addressing these issues, with several violations being closed after inspections, though a few remain open as of the latest data. The building's recent history includes four separate electricity-related service requests in 2025 alone, indicating persistent infrastructure challenges. An active violation from April 2023 regarding an unfiled external low-pressure inspection remains open, and there was an illegal conversion complaint in 2020 that could not be fully investigated due to access issues.
